Question 1 of 100
1. Question
Category: Quantitative AptitudeA train overtakes two persons walking along a railway track. The first one walks at 6 km/hr. The other one walks at 7.2 km/hr. The train overtook them in 9 seconds and 9.5 seconds respectively. What is the speed of the train if both the persons are walking in the same direction as that of the train? (in km/hr)
Correct
Speed of 1st person = 6×5/18 = 5/3 m/s
Speed of 2nd person = 7.2×5/18 = 2 m/s
Let the speed of the train be x m/s
According to the question,
(x – x/3) x 9 = (x – 2) x 9.5
9x – 15 = 9.5x – 19
0.5x = 4
∴ x = 8 m/s
Therefore, speed of the train = 8 x 18/5 = 28.8 km/h
Incorrect
Speed of 1st person = 6×5/18 = 5/3 m/s
Speed of 2nd person = 7.2×5/18 = 2 m/s
Let the speed of the train be x m/s
According to the question,
(x – x/3) x 9 = (x – 2) x 9.5
9x – 15 = 9.5x – 19
0.5x = 4
∴ x = 8 m/s
Therefore, speed of the train = 8 x 18/5 = 28.8 km/h

Question 2 of 100
2. Question
Category: Quantitative AptitudeA and B can do a piece of work in 20 days while B and C can do the same piece of work in 30 days and C and A in 24 days. They all worked together for 10 days when C and A left the job. How many more days will B take to finish the work?
Correct
2(A+B+C)’s 1 day’s work = 1/20 + 1/30 + 1/24 = 15/120 = 1/8
∴ (A+B+C)’s 1 days’s work = 1/16
Work done by A, B and C in 10 days = 10/16 = 5/8
Remaining work = (1-5/8) = 3/8 part of work
∴ B’s 1 day’s work = 1/16 – 1/24 = 1/48
So, 3/8 part of the work will be done by B in 48 x 3/8 = 18 days.
Incorrect
2(A+B+C)’s 1 day’s work = 1/20 + 1/30 + 1/24 = 15/120 = 1/8
∴ (A+B+C)’s 1 days’s work = 1/16
Work done by A, B and C in 10 days = 10/16 = 5/8
Remaining work = (1-5/8) = 3/8 part of work
∴ B’s 1 day’s work = 1/16 – 1/24 = 1/48
So, 3/8 part of the work will be done by B in 48 x 3/8 = 18 days.

55 + 46 + 54
= 2310 + 2070 + 2300/155 = 6680/155 ≅ 43.1

Question 4 of 100
4. Question
Category: Quantitative AptitudeManisha’s father was 42 years of age when she was born while her mother was 38 years old when her brother 3 years younger than her was born. What is the difference between the ages of her parents?
Correct
Mother’s age when Manisha’s brother was born = 38 years
Father’s age when Manisha’s brother was born = 42 + 3 = 45 years
∴ Required difference = 45 – 38 = 7 years
Incorrect
Mother’s age when Manisha’s brother was born = 38 years
Father’s age when Manisha’s brother was born = 42 + 3 = 45 years
∴ Required difference = 45 – 38 = 7 years

Question 5 of 100
5. Question
Category: Quantitative AptitudeIn how many different ways can the letters of the word ‘MATHEMATICS’ be arranged so that vowels always come together?
Correct
In the word ‘MATHEMATICS’, the vowels are AEAI, which are treated as one letter.
Now, we have to arrange 8 letters, out of which M and T appears twice and the rest are different.
∴ Number of ways of arranging these letters = 8!/2!2! = 10,080
Again, in AEAI, A appears twice so, the number of ways of arranging these letters = 4!/2! = 12
∴

Category: Quantitative AptitudePulses worth Rs. 140 per kg and Rs. 155 per kg was mixed with a third variety in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2. If the mixture is worth Rs. 167.5 per kg, the price of the third variety per kg will be
Correct
Since first and 2nd varieties of pulses are mixed in equal proportions their average price = 140 + 155/2 = Rs. 147.5
So, the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties, one at Rs. 147.5 per kg and the other at say, Rs. x per kg in the ratio 2 : 2 ie. 1 : 1.
We have to find the value of x.
Cost of 1 kg pulse of Cost of 1kg pulse of
1st kind Rs. 147.5 2nd kind x
Main price Rs.167.50
167.5 20
Then, x-167.5/20 = 1

∴ lb = 30 ——– > (ii)
Squaring on both sides of equation (i), we get
l² + b² = 61
Again, (l + b)² = l² + b² + 2lb
Now, by formula = 61 + 2 x 30
= 61 + 60 = 121
∴ l + b = 11
Now, the perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)
= 2 x 11=22cm
∴ Perimeter of the rectangle = 22 cm

Category: EnglishDirections (Q.76-82): In the given passage, there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. Against each five words are suggested, one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find the appropriate word in each case.
A TEXAS high school student and his mother recently called attention to a curious line in a geography textbook: a description of the Atlantic slave trade as bringing “millions of workers” to plantations in the American South. McGraw-Hill Education, the publisher of the textbook, has since (76) that the term “workers” was a misnomer. The company’s chief executive also promised to revise the textbook so that its digital version as well as its next edition would more accurately describe the forced migration and enslavement of Africans. In the meantime, the company is also (77) to send stickers to cover the passage. But it will take more than that to fix the way slavery is taught in Texas textbooks. In 2010, the Texas Board of Education approved a social studies (78) that promote capitalism and Republican political philosophies. The curriculum guidelines prompted many concerns, including that new textbooks would (79) slavery as the cause of the Civil War. This fall, five million public school students in Texas began using the textbooks based on the new (80). And some of these books distort history not through word choices but through a tool we often think of as apolitical: grammar. In September, Bobby Finger of the website Jezebel obtained and published some excerpts from the new books, showing much of what is objectionable about their content. The books play down the horror of slavery and even seem to claim that it had an upside. This (81) took the form of a distinctive African-American culture, in which family was central, Christianity provided “hope”, folk tales expressed “joy” and (82) dances were important social events. But it is not only the substance of the passages that is a probe. It is also their form. The writers’ decisions about how to construct sentences, about what the subject of the sentence will be, about whether the verb will be active or passive, shape the message that slavery was not all that bad.

Category: EnglishDirections (Q 83-94): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are given <strong>bold</strong> to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Things have got so bad between India and Pakistan that when they talk peace it looks like war. Their prime ministers were to address the 65th annual session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York and then meet on the sidelines.One day Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made some illadvised,bellicose, Kashmir-related remarks against India in his speech at the UNGA. On the following day Prime Minister Manmohan Singh lashed out at Pakistan in his speech. Before they met the next day Sharif reportedly called Singh a “village hag” (sic) off the record and put paid to whatever diplomatic gains he had counted on. After that, the meeting could not be one-on-one.Back home, the Indo-Pak media war was savage,sharpened by BJP leader Narendra Modi’s explosive reaction to the “village hag” remark. One channel pitted the notoriously visceral Pakistani politician Sheikh Rashid Ahmed against Hindu and Muslim Indians, scoring brownie points while anchors lost their neutral cool. The New York meeting achieved nothing except a vague agreement on sorting out the recent Line of Control incidents through armies that hate each other. Pakistan’s reference to Indian terrorism in Balochistan was correct but not comparable to India’s globally accepted designation of Pakistan as the epicentre of terrorism,threatening the world, including the US, the EU, India,Russia and China, to say nothing of the Central Asian states, which cower before the Uzbek terrorists trained in Pakistan.Manmohan Singh’s reaction to an act of terrorism in Jammu on the eve of his meeting with Sharif was brave and statesmanlike, given the negative press he has at home and the populist atmospherics of the coming elections in India. He said he would not be deterred by terrorism while talking peace with Pakistan. While in New York, he met President Barack Obama – who could not find time for his Pakistani counterpart – and agreed to meet Sharif, with caveats against pinning high hopes on the meeting. Sharif’s reference to Kashmir at the UNGA was aimed more at audiences at home than at India. He also expressed Pakistan’s newfound plaint about the “unjust” global system created by a flawed UN and called, unrealistically,for reforms in the world body. At home, right-wing TV anchors and newspaper reporters were pleased that “he spoke softly but gave a harsh message”. Some were put off because he was not “fiery” enough, meaning that helacked in denunciatory “Chavizmo” or the parading of a poor man’s useless tumescence in global politics. Ace anchor Kamran Khan gave the familiar, but repeatedly defeated, spin to the Jammu attack on Indian police and military troops: “The attacks inflicted a heavy loss to the Indian army and police and also revived the assertion that no effort for peace between Pakistan and India could bear fruit until the Kashmir issue was resolved.” Sharif was toeing the Foreign Office line, which has traditionally toed the Pakistan army line, built on the frozen geopolitical position on India as a permanent enemy opposed to the very existence of Pakistan. The last bit is supported by the textbook brainwash in the schools of Pakistan, particularly Punjab, currently ruled by Sharif’s rightwing PML(N). His plaint about Kashmir not finding place on the roster of issues at the UN was purely for home consumption, because the 1972 Indo-Pak Simla Agreement had forever assigned it to bilateral dialogue. Pakistan had – wrongly – tried to move the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against India for the 1999 shooting down of a surveillance aircraft. The ICJ, while asserting that it had no jurisdiction over the matter, gratuitously advised Pakistan to abide by the 1972 change of status of all disputes.

Ace anchor Kamran Khan gave the familiar, but repeatedly defeated, spin to the Jammu attack on Indian police and military troops: “The attacks inflicted a heavy loss to the Indian army and police and also revived the assertion that no effort for peace between Pakistan and India could bear fruit until the Kashmir issue was resolved.” Sharif was toeing the Foreign Office line, which has traditionally toed the Pakistan army line, built on the frozen geopolitical position on India as a permanent enemy opposed to the very existence of Pakistan. The last bit is supported by the textbook brainwash in the schools of Pakistan, particularly Punjab, currently ruled by Sharif’s rightwing PML(N). His plaint about Kashmir not finding place on the roster of issues at the UN was purely for home consumption, because the 1972 Indo-Pak Simla Agreement had forever assigned it to bilateral dialogue. Pakistan had – wrongly – tried to move the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against India for the 1999 shooting down of a surveillance aircraft. The ICJ, while asserting that it had no jurisdiction over the matter, gratuitously advised Pakistan to abide by the 1972 change of status of all disputes.
Why is it mentioned that when India and Pakistan talk peace, it looks like war?
(A) Because the Prime Ministers of both the countries made reproachful remarks against each other.
(B) Because both the countries are weak at their homes and they cannot help a war talk.
(C) Because both the countries tend to behave in a savage manner.

Ace anchor Kamran Khan gave the familiar, but repeatedly defeated, spin to the Jammu attack on Indian police and military troops: “The attacks inflicted a heavy loss to the Indian army and police and also revived the assertion that no effort for peace between Pakistan and India could bear fruit until the Kashmir issue was resolved.” Sharif was toeing the Foreign Office line, which has traditionally toed the Pakistan army line, built on the frozen geopolitical position on India as a permanent enemy opposed to the very existence of Pakistan. The last bit is supported by the textbook brainwash in the schools of Pakistan, particularly Punjab, currently ruled by Sharif’s rightwing PML(N). His plaint about Kashmir not finding place on the roster of issues at the UN was purely for home consumption, because the 1972 Indo-Pak Simla Agreement had forever assigned it to bilateral dialogue. Pakistan had – wrongly – tried to move the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against India for the 1999 shooting down of a surveillance aircraft. The ICJ, while asserting that it had no jurisdiction over the matter, gratuitously advised Pakistan to abide by the 1972 change of status of all disputes.
